Workhuman is still a corporation, even with human in the name.

Pros

One of the main selling points is the extensive use of the Workhuman social recognition product in-house. You can get anywhere form $3,000 to $10,000+ extra incentive boost from the program. The people you work with have historically been awesome people. The most recent wave of new hires don't retain the same qualities, as the fabric of the organization has shifted. Despite it's best efforts, Workhuman tends to hire the typical over dominate and over educated tech man, which makes it difficult for women and minorities with varying opinions to flourish. However, if you find the good people, they will be amazing. The complexity of the business can be a little annoying but it's also a huge learning opportunity.

Cons

No merit increases for two years running and a deep lack of strategy, clarity, or plan in HR. The company is clearly run by two or three high ranking people, if you're not in that group, your expertise does not matter. After years of this experience, talented people tend to move on because your growth is stunted. You have to repeat insights or warnings to the business 10+ times to each revolving business leader or 4th layer of the command chain. As a data analyst, it's a difficult environment to work with. There's limited follow through to anything innovative. The smoke and mirrors get new hires excited, but tenured employees with open eyes know better. The biggest con is communication. As adults who probably have worked in various corporations, the employees understand what's required to deal with corporate culture. However, Workhuman leaders do not have the respect for their employees or the experience to develop communication that is direct, transparent, and thoughtful. Employees get snippet of feel good communication, and it's pointless and exhausting.
